Impact trauma, often referred to as blunt force trauma (BFT), can have profoundly detrimental effects on the human body, lasting well beyond the point of impact. The sudden, forceful transfer of kinetic energy into the human body can lead to a variety of injuries, ranging from minor contusions to severe,
Navigating modern law enforcement, military and security engagements requires an increasingly complex understanding of the risks of lethality, as well as the chance for long-term harm to those targeted by weapons deployment. The deployment of lethal force, whether by deploying a firearm, physical strikes, or other measures, is expected to
Whether a professional, amateur or recreational athlete, every sport contains some amount of injury risk. However, sudden impact to the head can lead to a variety of injuries, ranging from contusions and lacerations to concussions, skull fracture and severe traumatic brain injury. Even whiplash, often thought of as a neck
Impact injury research forms the bedrock of safety research, especially when guided by Biokinetics’ decades of consulting and testing experience. As a way of assessing the factors that contribute to impact injuries, as well as how specific variables affect the severity and long-term effects on the human body, impact injury
The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) has become increasingly prevalent in both private and commercial spaces. With drones continuing to push the boundaries on our current understanding of their capabilities and operating environments, ensuring the consistent evolution of relevant safety guidelines is essential to risk mitigation. At Biokinetics, we
Law enforcement and military branches across North America, Europe, and most of the globe are facing heavy scrutiny when it comes to the use of force, specifically when it comes to deploying ammunition or weaponry that carries a high risk of lethality. In a bid to reduce injuries to both
When it comes to ensuring the optimal safety of law enforcement and military personnel in high-conflict scenarios, ensuring protective equipment is alignmed with current safety standards and practices is paramount. The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is a leading authority for safety protocols and maintains a dedicated set of standards
Properly fitting and performance-tested body armour is essential to ensure personal protection during highly volatile conditions. With police, military and security professionals facing increasingly violent scenarios in daily operations, it has become crucial to understand anatomical requirements, specifically when considering the fundamental differences involved in protecting female and male body
With the commercial use and application of drones seeing increased interest across North America and Europe over recent years, regulatory bodies have faced the challenge of rapidly adopting and implementing safety standards that allow for optimal performance and the protection of civilians. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have plenty of benefits
With the increased use of explosive and ballistic weapons in modern conflicts, having definitive ways of testing and evaluating the threat threshold of explosions and the risk of human damage is essential for safety and prevention. From concussive damage to the risk of being impaled by shrapnel etc., dangerous environments
